Yeah...this one aro is pretty tame..he was separated from the other 6 from the otherside of the tank...

Vamp: i use a dropcam which is cloud based recording. it allows me to go back 7 days worth of recording...the video is usually great at 720p but since it was daylight the glare off the acrylic isn't the greatest!

Moved to sump with their big sister of 3 months.




Here's the full tank a few days before the birth.

Super cool

I was in suspense with that big aro though... I was scared when he was looking at the pups

What kind of cam you use? Hooked right to your router?

I just looked up drop cam looks pretty cool. Your vid is alot faster motion then my webcams

I have 4 dropcams for the house...by far the best webcam out there...steep price to buy at $200 but with only 99/yr on the first and $50/yr on subsquent cameras with 7/24 at 7day recordings it's not much....quality is extremely good..would highly recommend them...you don't need to purchase the recording so live stream is free and only needs wifi...no need for computer or router unless it's a wifi router...

Very Nice, Congrats Chris! Hard to tell from the video, but the female didn't look that big. Is that they key to getting them to breed - provide TV for them.
